What is the “best” way to prevent 2009 Fit from starting
What is the “best” way to prevent 2009 Fit from starting
Motivations are a) preventing theft (at least a little) during long-term absence b) preventing a teen.
I guess it may depend on whether I want the engine to turn at all.
Looking at the fuse diagram I see a fuse for ignition coil (though no starter relay?) so that’s one option. The other is disconnect or remove battery altogether. What else?

Manual transmission. My neighbor borrowed another neighbor's manual transmission pickup. He knew how to drive stick, but it had been a long time (20 years, we found out later). He said it took him 10 minutes to figure out how to start the car because he hadn't remembered he needed to push in the clutch!
The starting inhibit also makes it impossible to move the vehicle in emergency with starter if the engine is not starting e.g. away from the track or crossing.
Or maybe I should make a bypass switch to fool the car
Disconnecting the battery is one of the easiest ways, as you said. You could also look into wiring in a kill switch and hiding it somewhere in the car. ChrisFix has a super good video on youtube on how to set it up.
